It depends on what I'm going to use it for. So my favorites are SuperSweet 100, Sungold, Black Cherry, and Randy's Cherry Bomb.

I also have a suspicion and a suggestion. I suspect a lot of favorites will be Sungold, Black Cherry, and one of the sweets (Sweet 100, Sugary, etc.). The suggestion is to pick say Sungold next year, Black Cherry the following year etc. Trying is the real way to find out what you're going to like because of your personal taste and specific conditions (environmental factors).

Sun Gold, Black Cherry, Gardener's Delight are my favorites, at this time.
I am also growing Matt's Wild Cherry(good taste, but tiny), Reisentraube(nothing yet), Green Grape(nothing yet), Super Sweet 100's(good, but very small), Camp Joy/Chadwick's Cherry(nothing yet), and Brown Berry(nothing yet). Kind of my own test to find the right ones 'cause I plant way too many every year. Unfortunately, I have liked every one I have tried so far. :-)

Our favorite "cherry" is actually yellow pear. Fun shape, color contrast, and the kids fight over who's turn it is to pick/eat them. We're tasting/trying different tomatoes and this one makes the cut with the kids every year.

*note*
For our trials, we score them 1-5, and at the end of the year take a look at which we liked best. YP gets 5's across the board from the kids, and is a 4.5 to hubby.

My favorite cherries are Sungold, Sun Cherry (another sweet hybrid), and Black Cherry (which has a very unique, but sweet flavor). I'm growing way too many cherries this year. Snow White is also good (and very attractive), and everyone else but me loves Coyote. I personally didn't find it to be bad, it just doesn't taste like a tomato! Sweet 100 and Sweet Million are also very good, but are too similar to Sun Cherry.

If you're interested in some Coyote seeds, I'm saving tons and tons right now! Anything that doesn't get eaten is getting its seeds saved so...

I've got to give it to black cherry. Early on I was very sceptical and figured that no cherry tomato could be really good. I was wrong. Flat out the best fruity flavor I've ever experienced in a tomato. You've got to try Black Cherry, really.

And no offense to person that suggested yellow pear, but it is a complete waste of garden space, looks nice but not worth eating at all. Just about the worst that I have ever tasted.

Black cherry also hard to beat. If you want a smaller fruit, I suggest Hawaiian Currant...size of a large pea, tastes great (very tomatoes for a small variety, moreso than any other currant variety that I have tried).

Yellow pear IS very attractive. I've never grown it, and none that I have ever tasted were worth eating. But it occurs to me that it might be a good base for some hybrid experiments, if you could keep the shape and appearance and cross it with something to give it a better flavor.

Another vote for Galina. This year with plenty of regular rain, it is superb here in zone 5 with large plants and high yield. Other years it has been disappointing in size and yield, but not in flavor. A good meaty yellow/gold.

This year, I tried "Sweet 100" and "Husky Cherry," and sweet 100 is much sweeter of the two.
Sweet 100 produced earlier than Husky Cherry, but the plant isn't as disease resistant and the fruits are smaller.
My in-laws visited a few weeks ago, and they all went crazy for Sweet 100 - they're so sweet and tasty, they're like fruit snacks. I'll probably repeat Sweet 100, but try Sungold with it the next year.
I think I've tried Supersweet 100 in the past, but I can't really measure it against sweet 100 side by side. I might try that experiment as well if I can't find Sungold nearby.

Here in South Central Pa. I've grown Black Cherry, Sun Gold, Snow White, Sweet 100's, Super Sweet 100's,Sweet million, Juliet, Yellow pear. The ones that keep getting planted year after year are Sun Gold(hybrid), and Black Cherry (heirloom). If I had to go with only one it would be Sungold, although prone to splitting after a rain or allowed to mature too much, just pick before rains or watering and you'll do fine. Happy Gardening!

I had to chime in on this one -Purple Haze!
It's a little smaller than golf ball size, very productive and one darn healthy plant.
Sure, I like sungold as an old stand by but PH is a sweet/tart beauty that's going to go in again next season.
The only drawback is I only planted 1 to try it!

Are Reisentraubes any good? I like the sound of 40 per cluster, and the rich tomato taste not usually found in cherry tomatos. I'll have to grow a good flavor-packed cherry next year as well; I love that sweet/tang flavor as well.

At least once every three years: Sugary (having a standard red grape is nice), Juanne Flammee, Green Grape.

I don't grow the nice red hybrid varieties, because I would end up using them for the same things as the Sungolds. I suppose they could share that job, but the fact is, I would end up using every last Sungold before I started to use the red ones, so they mostly go to waste.

Is there more than one Galina? Sometimes I see Galina's, or Galina's Yellow, or just Galina. I also saw Galina Grand. Which is the Galina that most people like?

****

Galina's Yellow, Galina, Galina's are all the same variety.

And a Galina's Lellus has been listed in the SSE YEarbooks as well, but the person who gave the seeds to the person who listed them I'm pretty sure is Amish and I think the word lellus means yellow or alternatively Lellus is a family name. It's still Galina's Yellow/

DonnaMarie, I'd never heard of a Galina Grand so Googled it and found it at Bountiful Gardens.

I don't know why they altered the name, and they've done that with a few other varieties as well, but that's Galina's Yellow.

There's only ONE Galina's or however folks want to express the name of that variety.

I stiull use Galina's Yellow b'c that's the name that Bill McDorman used when he brought back the variety from Siberia and initially offered it and all the others ones he brought back at High Altitude Seeds, now Seeds Trust/

Hi,I was looking for the black cherry tomatoes that everyone is raving about, and got these -
but they are listed as chocolate cherry and not black cherry. I am assuming there is a difference? has anyone tried the chocolate cherry? Should I ditch them and go black cherry?

I have little people in my life so my cherry tomato criteria have changed over the course of time. I was always a fan of Dr. Carolyn (another Galinas relative), Green Grape, Reisentraube (although seedy, it tastes really good), etc.
Few years ago someone GAVE me plants (they said they were dr carolyn, but they were clearly YELLOW PEAR) and of course the little people LOVED them...
Last year I grew Black Cherry, Green Grape, Sungold, Isis Candy, and Dr. Carolyn and the only one that was a real stand out was the Sungold. Black cherry wasn't prolific and they're BIG for a cherry... Green Grape tasted great, but again not prolific last year. I wasn't impressed with Dr. Carolyn or Isis Candy last year either. All that being said, it was a terrible tomato growing season for me - so who's to say why they were not prolific & not stand outs.
I'm now looking for small cherries - the size of Sungold... so I'm growing THIS YEAR Sungold, Hawaiian, Mexican Cocktail, for the small size... then I'm growing Green Doctors (b/c I DO like the Galinas/Dr.Carolyn group), and a few other crosses that a friend shared with me.
A friend was asking me for Matt's Wild Cherry - is that a current tomato?
